Crazy thing is the scouting report on Waddell gave him a high grade on his bat to ball skills and he graded out average or better than average on nearly every tool with the sole exception of power - where he was given a 20 or 30 grade. If he develops power (and it is sustainable - obviously his...

It quotes Bill Shanks. That’s all you need to know.

Ha. Maybe AA thinks its inevitable that the odds will play in our favor that at least one or two players from the Island of Misfit Toys will be on a hot streak at any given time such that you never have all boom or bust.

Ender posted a nice goodbye and shout out to Atlanta fans on his IG story- I don't know to link it here (since it's not a post, it's a story) but kudos to him for showing class on the way out. Class act.

Touki may be the most promising one out of that entire lot as well (given his stuff)- so let's not forget about him.

Wow. Touki looked great in the first. Hope he can keep it up

If you truly believe this doesn't happen (and happens with a sad level of frequency) then I have a bridge to sell you. I'm not saying that in Ozuna's specific case but to disclaim it as a whole is asinine.

He’s happy, he has not sold his home(s) in Atlanta contrary to rumors (only renting them out), still loves Atlanta and it’s the only organization he’s ever known his entire professional career, only lives in CA because he wants his kids To be able to play outdoors in the winter and is close to...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Dodgers calling up Nate Jones... watch them turn him into a reliable late inning relief option...

Heredia probably wants in to exact payback against his former team (not saying that’s a good reason to play him against a RHP). Mets are without half their lineup - McNeil, Davis and Conforto are all On the DL. No excuses this series and Degrom is out till after this series too.

Now Braves sign Tanner Roark to a minor league deal. Man that contract before 2020 the Jays gave him was horrible...

Didn't think this deserved its own thread but was interesting nonetheless. Won't post the article (it's on The Athletic) but I found this tidbit interesting. Apparently Doug Fearing left the Dodgers R&D group a few years ago and founded Zelus Analytics in Austin, TX which provides a limited...

This is racist. For God sakes man, open your eyes. Others have already pointed out the issues with thoughts like this - quit the entitlement and realize this legislation and line of thinking is intentionally designed to disproportionately impact a segment of the population.

Reports say Braves made 2 year back loaded contract offer to Trevor Rosenthal- curious that it was back loaded. Same mlbTR write up mentions Braves were also pursuing Gardner but he ultimately wanted to rejoin the Yankees, as expected. Wondering whether we back loaded Rosenthal’s offer because...

Shewmake sounds like a future quality regular (as a floor) with a much higher ceiling than I think most currently project. He has a quality approach at the plate and good bat to ball skills. Curious to see how his body fills out and whether that forces him off of SS or if he's going to be a...

Mancini had stage 3 colon cancer in 2020 and underwent therapy for it. He had a scan in December 2020 and it showed clear of colon cancer and while he intends to play in 2021, it would be hard for a team to be confident in his ability to immediately bounce back after taking 2020 off entirely...

Ive been on the boards for over 10 years - but I don’t keep up with all of the jokes. Sorry if it went over my head.

People do realize Wright is still 24, not 27+ right? (Ok well 25 in October but the point remains).

Are you thinking of Jared Wright? Lol. You do realize Kyle Wright is only 24 years old ,right?

Disgusting- and how insensitive to the multitude of families who are grieving and leaving in fear every single day of the police.
